Rnd 3: Join A in any corner ch-2 sp, ch 1 (does not count as st), work (sc, ch 2, sc) in same corner sp, (*sk next 3 dc-cl, ch 2, sc in next ch-1 sp; rep from * to next corner, work (sc, ch 2, sc) in next corner); rep from * around, join with sl st to first sc.

I noticed that the diagram for the New Arrow Throw only shows it in black and white, and doesn’t indicate how and where to assemble the various colors, Is there a way to get the color key to show, if there is one for this pattern? If not, how does one know which colors to place where?
